FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28

ARTFREAK DANCE PARTY

Photographer Wes Naman is famed for his jarring portraits of subjects whose faces are contorted by layers of invisible tape, and he'll be present at NCMA's ARTFREAK dance party to make things extra freaky. At this pre-Halloween warmup, attendees will have the chance to be immortalized with the Naman treatment or test their drawing skills with Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. DJ Forge will be jockeying danceable beats, and you can fuel up with food trucks and a cash bar. If you don't want to wait for the dance party at 8:30, show up at 5:30 for a "Hoppy Hour" with a Moogfest-curated soundtrack that will play amid Australian artist Amanda Parer's short-run outdoor exhibit of giant, glowing, inflatable rabbits. The admission price also gets you into Rolling Sculpture, the museum's exhibit of vintage Art Deco cars. —Jamie Stuart
